Proven ways to help reduce back pain by Dr Gautam Arora MD DM Neurologist and Pain Specialist

DELHI, INDIA, February 04, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ — Read out the ways below to get rid of back pain:

Improve Your Sleep
Firstly, sleeping might be difficult when you have back discomfort. And also, it can be a dangerous cycle because not getting enough sleep might aggravate your back pain. Back pain might be worse by sleeping uncomfortably. Lie on your side for some time. Put a pillow in the middle of your knees to keep your spine neutral and relieve back pain. If you feel to sleep on your back, place a pillow between your legs. Moreover, ensure you sleep on a mattress that is firm enough for you. Dr Gautam Arora recommends Sleep study if you have sleep apnea or other sleep related issues.

Good Posture
Secondly, poor posture can aggravate back discomfort, especially if you sit for long periods. Don’t sag in front of your computer. Sit up in a straight posture with your shoulders relaxed and your back to the back of your chair. Keeping a soft pillow or rolled towel in the middle of your lower back and the seat is a good idea. Keep a flat foot on the floor.

Medication from a Pharmacy
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen are most often used over-the-counter pain relievers for back pain. Both have some adverse effects that some people may find difficult to bear. Also, consult your doctor before taking any pain relievers. Also, don’t expect the drug to solve your pain problem on its own. According to the best neurologist and interventional pain specialist, you will most likely require more than one sort of treatment. Dr Gautam Arora only recommends short use of NSIADS only.

Prescribed pain relievers
To ease pain, some people may require prescription-strength NSAIDs or opioid drugs. To avoid overdosing on specific active substances, it is critical to see your doctor or pharmacist if you take any other prescriptions, including over-the-counter treatments. In addition, your neurologist may also prescribe muscle relaxants to help relieve uncomfortable spasms of muscle.

Medicines for Depression
Even if you are not at a depressed stage, your doctor may prescribe antidepressant drugs as part of your persistent low treatment. It’s not clear how antidepressants help with chronic pain relief. The action of antidepressants on chemical messengers is believed to affect pain symptoms in our body.

Physiotherapy
Physical therapists can make you learn how to sit, stand, and move in a manner that keeps your spine aligned and eases back discomfort. They can also give you proven exercises to strengthen the core muscles that support your back. A firm core is one of the best methods to avoid future back problems. According to research, back discomfort can be reduced by increasing your strength, flexibility, and endurance, but it takes some time.

Doctors once recommended bed rest for back problems. However, we now know that lying still is one of the riskiest things you can do. It can aggravate back discomfort and lead to additional issues. Rest for no more than a day or two. It is critical to get up and gradually resume movement. Exercise is one of the most effective strategies to reduce pain quickly. Swim, walk or practice yoga. Dr Gautam Arora practice yoga himself.

Heat and ice
Applying ice to uncomfortable parts of your back regularly may help lessen pain and inflammation caused by an injury. Experiment with this multiple times a day for up to 20 minutes each time. To protect your skin, wrap the ice pack in a small towel. After a few days, turn on the heat. Apply a heating pad or warm pack to your muscles to assist relax them and promote blood flow to the affected area. Also, warm baths can also be used to help with relaxation. Never sleep on a heating pad to avoid burns and tissue damage.

Therapy with Your Hands
Is it true that massage relieves after you leave the table? According to the best neurologist and interventional pain specialist, Dr. Gautam Arora, one weekly massage over 10 weeks reduced pain and functionality in persistent back pain. The benefits lasted around six months and then began to fade after a year. Spinal manipulation is another hands-on approach. When performed by a competent specialist, this procedure can help ease structural abnormalities in the spine and restore lost mobility.

Stimulation of Nerves
Specific methods that activate nerves to decrease persistent back pain are being researched. If you aren’t getting relief from more conservative treatments, your doctor may suggest adding acupuncture to your treatment strategy. Furthermore, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), in which modest electric pulses are supplied to the nerves to inhibit incoming pain signals, is another way your doctor may recommend.

Therapy Through Conversation
Seeing a psychologist for back problems may sound weird. However, studies suggest that cognitive-behavioral therapy is quite successful in short- and long-term treatment of persistent. CBT, for example, may address how people with back pain think about physical exercise – and why they may avoid it – to improve how they respond to being active. People who use CBT report considerable reductions in pain and impairment.
